http://webspinners.com/Gakondo/en/Lists/index.php

Extractions: As indicate on the introductory page of this web site, the oral document known as Ubucurabwenge (the forging of intelligence, or mental development), which contains the genealogies of the kings of Rwanda, is the pillar of the whole Rwanda Tradition. The three other major documents - the myths Ibitekerezo, the Ubwiru rituals et the symbolic poetry Ibisigo - all follow the structure and pattern of the royal lists given in Ubucurabwenge. The royal lists were compiled and memorised by a group called Abacurabwenge ("Forgers of Intelligence"). It has been said that the lists were recited during the coronation ceremonies, although the text of the coronation ritual just mentions that the new King and Queen Mother are resented under their new names, without specifying that their full genealogy is recited at that occasion. The list itself is given in reverse order, beginning with the reigning King and Queen Mother, and ending with Muntu (Man, Mankind), the first King of Men, son of Kigwa, son of Nkuba Shyerezo, the King of Heaven. The List spans forty-three (43) reigns, listing the names of the King and Queen Mother, with their ascendancy on the mother and father's side. The Ubucurabwenge lists were recorded and published by Alexis Kagame in his book Inganji Kalinga (Kabgayi, 2nd ed. 1959, Book II, pp. 98-101).

To the west of the divide, the land drops sharply to Lake Kivu in the Great African Rift Valley; to the east, the land falls gradually across the central plateau - its grassy highlands are the core areas of settlement of Rwanda's population - to the swamps and lakes on the country's eastern border. Most of Rwanda is 3,000 ft above sea level, with much of the central plateau being higher than 4,700 ft. In the northwest, on the border with Zaire, are the volcanic Virunga Mountains; the highest peak, Mount Karisimbi (14,870 ft) is snowcapped. Lake Kivu, 4,700 feet above sea level, drains into Lake Tanganyika, through the sharply descending Ruzizi River. The Kagera River, which forms much of Rwanda's eastern border, flows into Lake Victoria.

On Saturday, the AP reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating a stock transaction that Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) made this summer. MSNBC reports he is also under investigation by the US attorney for the Southern District of New York. In January 2003, Frist is quoted as saying " ... as far as I know, I own no HCA stock." This statement directly contradicts a report from the Nashville Scene which I detailed on Wednesday: The Scene discovered that the trust isn't very blind; the assets were "concentrated in the stock of HCA."

Extractions: Rwanda is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Consisting of only [10,169] square miles,...smaller than the state of Maryland, Rwanda contains 7.5 million people (1991)...Rwanda, known as the 'Little Switzerland of Africa,' is also one of the world's five poorest countries, with about 95% of the population barely managing to survive on small farm lots called shambas, of about two and one half acres each. Terracing techniques are relied upon to utilize nearly all of the available land for cultivation. However, even with such stringent escarpment devices, the population is living above the carrying capacity of the terrain. Each year another 23,000 families will need new land plots to grow their food and support their livestock. (Fossey, 1983) Rwanda's population density, which is the highest in sub-Saharan Africa, is 332 people per square kilometer (128 people per square mile). Besides the capital of Kigali, few urban centers exist in this countrymost families live in self-contained compounds. Since independence from Belgium, Rwanda's GDP has grown almost 6% per year. This has been offset, however, by the country's rapidly growing population. Consequently, annual per capita income is approximately $200.

Extractions: Ethnic Groups in Rwanda Rwanda has a population of approximately 7 million. The languages spoken in this country are French, Kinyarwanda, and Kiswahili; and the religions practiced are Christian, traditional African, and Muslim. The total population of this country comprises several peoples, the most predominant of which are the three ethnic groups: the Tutsi, the Hutu, and the Twa. Photo: Courtesy of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund The Twa, a subgroup of the African Pygmies, are slightly larger than most pygmies. Adult males average 1.5 m (5 ft) and 45 kg (100 lb). The Twa, the earliest settlers of this area, originally lived off the land as hunters and gatherers in the once extensive forests around the Virunga Mountains. But as the forests were cut downfirst by the Hutu for farming and grazing, then by the Tutsi for grazingthe Twa population began to decrease. Today the Twa make up only 1% of the total population. Compared to the other ethnic groups within Rwandan society, the Twa hold an inferior position, due to their smaller size and their customs, which are considered primitive by the Tutsi and Hutu.
